I would have expected it to be like agricultural products -- rows of corn with spaces between rows, so you could access the interior without stepping over the outer panels.
- micromacrofoot 4y agoyeah good point, why not walking/drain space between rows? optimizing for minimal area?
- tuatoru 4y agoThat's a different approach, called agrivoltaics. 3 meter high frames with the panels on top, wide row spacing (about 10x), and crops in the ground. Minimal harvest yield loss (sometimes even improvement, as the shading reduces stress on the plants), and selling power from the same land. It could be marketed as "zero land needed" PV power. With Erthos's on-ground panels, a robot with fat soft tires rolls over the panels. No walking needed.
- necovek 4y agoThat comment seemed to only refer to spacing panels like rows of plants are spaced in agriculture to allow easier access.
